Tour de Cure Gary Bertwistle, a founding member of the Tour de Cure charity cycle ride telephoned Mark to ask if Star Outdoor could help with a special "deal" on 2 pop up marquees for the inaugural charity ride. Once Mark heard about the cycle ride and the effort the riders were putting into raising money for cancer research, he was only too happy to "gift" two sign written marquees for fund raising and also for servicing bikes on the long ride to Sydney The goal of the Tour de Cure is to raise $2,000,000 for three key charities over 4 years - Breast Cancer Research
- Prostrate Cancer Research
- Camp Quality
as Gary explained it, the Tour De Cure supports cancer research that will help Mums, Dads and Kids with Cancer. So impressed with Star Outdoor two FREE marquee offer Gary asked Mark if he would like to join the team on the inaugural ride from Brisbane to Sydney-1,100km in 9 days of riding. Mark is not one to shirk a challenge & finished the ride raising just on $20,000 for the charity. The 23 riders in total have raised just under $400,000 in the first year 2007. The 2008 ride has now begun and if you would like to find out more and/or make a donation go to www.tourdecure.com.
